Evening Sun Sunflower Seeds
The exotic-looking Evening Sun Sunflower has 4"-6" blooms in fiery shades of red, orange, and burgundy with dark centers. These plants reach 6'-8' tall and look like dazzling jewels when the sun shines through the petals.
Evening Suns have a long bloom period, make pretty cut flowers, and the birds enjoy the seeds on plants that are left standing in fall and winter.
